IS 4K/UHD FOR LIVE PRODUCTION

REALLY WITH US?

Stand: N28

During IBC2014, it was clear

that 4K production was the new

HD – there are many discussions

about HDR, HFR, 8K (and even

higher) resolution but it seems

that the next step up from High

Definition is 4K. 4K for mastering

is entirely possible and the

complete workflow allows for this

but 4K for live is another matter.

Yes, there had been a few trial

transmissions streamed via IP by

some industry leading technology

companies but in reality, “will

4K transmissions become the

normal standard for live

events?” Well it seems that

the time between IBC and BVE

has suggested a resounding

‘Yes’. Recent news has

highlighted a number of events

that have been ‘streamed’ live in

4K (or was it UHD?) from Linkin

Park in Berlin to NBA in London

and future plans for UEFA to

fit-out football stadiums with

4K. There are a few areas that

need to catch up and from the

average viewer stance this is

clearly, “how does this 4K

get to my large screen

mounted to the wall?” Does the

emergence of 4K technology

increase the demise of linear

broadcasting or are we waiting

for broadcasters to again invest

in new infrastructure? Is linear

broadcasting doomed by rate of

change with video technology

and not by the way we interact

with broadcasts? What I do

know is that production end-to-

end workflow in 4K is already

here and there are a number

of choices for anyone wanting

to master in 4K. It seems

that there are more options

than when HD was this

new and certainly more

choices of cameras,

such as the IO Industries

Flare 4KSDI, one

camera among many;

even if the others are

not minicams like the

4KSDI, most are designed

to be portable.

OPINION

Stuart Chaston, European sales manager, IO Industries,

tackles the subject of 4K for live production

‘Does the

emergence of 4K

technology increase

the demise of linear

broadcasting or are

we waiting for

broadcasters to

again invest in new

infrastructure?’
